Dogs & Devotion

Perhaps one of the reasons we are so devoted to our dogs is that they help us become who we're supposed to be.
"How easy to get lost in a dog's eyes!" write the Monks of New Skete in this new book celebrating our lives with our dogs. Far from getting lost, though, you might very well find what really matters most to you as you read through these soul-stirring meditations and enjoy the heartwarming photographs of dogs doing what they do best--being themselves.

Dogs have a lot to teach us about a whole host of virtues, but chief among them is devotion, in all its forms. Dogs are masters of the art, not just in their loyalty to us, but also in the wholehearted way they approach every aspect of life. "Do you seek to live fully, energized by being engaged with the things you love? Give yourself as passionatley to life as a dog does to its play and see how your life will be transformed."

The monks know what they are talking about. They are the best-selling authors of several books on dog breeding and training, based on their experiences raising German Shepherds at their monastery in the gentle hills of upstate New York.
